Genial daneben: Das Spiel (2004)

About this game

This game is based on a German television show. In the show famous people are trying to guess the right answers for questions that we stumble over everyday, but nobody ever tried to think of the why's and how's. E.g. where did a certain idiom originate. It's pretty funny to watch the players discuss their ideas and interesting to finally hear the answer. In this board game, contrary to the show, there are three possible answers given to each question. Players should discuss the given "answers" and each come to a conclusion, placing a chip on marked areas on the board. The players who guessed right get points, the game master gets points for every wrong answer. Expanded by: Genial daneben: Das Spiel – Zusatzfragen

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
